Executive summary: Spring Hotels is in talks with funds and family offices to set up a hotel‑asset management business and plans to invest over €300 million in new Tenerife hotel developments from 2028. The shift could diversify Spring Hotels’ revenue streams, reduce capital‑intensive exposure, and tap into growing investor interest in hospitality real estate.

Likely next: Finalisation of partnership agreements, launch of the asset‑management platform, and commencement of pre‑development work on Tenerife projects.
